Pine sawdust (9 kg m−2) was ploughed into soils, intended for future forestry plantations, that had been left for 3 or 6 years after previously being used for agriculture. Two years after the amendment, soil pH had changed in both sites and the C:N ratio had increased. Total fungal populations decreased after the treatment. A small decrease in the number of species was not statistically signifi...

Fusarium head blight (FHB) is an important disease of wheat and causes significant economic and yield losses. The principal pathogen associated with FHB in Manitoba is Gibberella zeae (Schwein.) Petch (anamorph = Fusarium graminearum Schwabe). Trichoderma harzianum Rifai is a well-known biocontrol agent of many plant pathogens. The extracts from 11 T. harzianum isolates and cellfree filtrates w...

Peanut haulms compost as a carrier of three Trichoderma species (T. harzianum, T. hamatum and T. koningii) exhibited different morphological and chemical characteristics and its ability to control Fusarium wilt of cumin plants caused by Fusarium oxysporum compared with peat/vermiculite. The peanut haulms carrier was able to increase the population size, numbers, viability, survival, microbial b...

Abstract Chemical control is still a mainstay for some farmers in shallot center areas such as Brebes, Central Java. Applications of fungicides that are carried out these very intensive and periodically every 3-5 days. The application too can certainly have negative impact on functional microbes including biological disease agents. purpose this study was to evaluate the several brands efficacy ...

abstract in low-input cropping systems, the natural roles of microorganisms in maintaining soil fertility may be more important than conventional system. in order to investigate the effects of plant growth promoting fungi on improvement of growth and development in soybean (cv: jk) an experiment was conducted at the research farm of sari agricultural sciences and natural resources university du...
